This giant wus lo md iu the eonstruction of a rail road from Lake buponor to iTiget Hound ami thu vicinity of FuriUud, Orugou, and calls for about b.S,lK»U,lM)0 acres, or 1*0,00!) square miles of land, an extent equal tu New York and Indiana together, or eleven ami a half times Ma>sachU8oits. The route of this road, commencing iu Min nesota, ou tho shoreH ui Luke superior, passes through the limbcicd iamE west ul that lake, and over the region of prairies, lakes ami groves iu NVesieru Minnesota : thence n crosses tho wonderful vailey ui tho Red River uf the North, uud stiikos out over thu geutly uiuiulaluig and leitiio prairies of Dakotu, and crossing tue Mis souri river at the mumii of tl:u Heart, it extends to the beautiful valley of the leiiowbtono iu nearly u straigla line; aseeitduig this Vtlicy and pusaiug through belts ol uuiiier unit noil robing lands, it goes ihiuugh the Boseman l ass ol the Belt Mouuiums into the coutrul basin of Moutuim, nud crosses the loitilu valleys ot the Galiaiiu, MutiiKou and Jefferson lurks ol the l pper Missouri: going up tUo valJe\H ol the latter atid Divide crocs, it ruiiH tliiough Deer Lodge Foss at uu altitude under .1,UU0 feet above sea Jeve). and descends the western slojio bv tho valleys of J leer Lodge creek.

A large portion ot this grunt is covered with loresls of an ituuiei.se growth, the like of which cannot be found on tins continent. Fine building stoiiu is tumid in almost every variety, and inexhaustible m quantity.

It i played l ii tho l.oii'l mean p; ui the iu- r,f tho uhiii y d'm- stat .ineiit on ti;u that it places the alleged grievances of tho 1 nited States in u some what new aspect. Often as tho facts hud boe.it stated nnd reviewed Ly Mr. Adams and Mr. tiewurd, it is but just to own timt iu the case now laid b. lore the a r bit ra ti is they are iimrsliallvd nnd gio.qad more t'ffl.c-ively than ever bcloru. The chief strength <*f this case may bo said to consist in the skilful development of an argument contained in <«no i f Mr. Fish's duapatches timt Great Britain allowed herself tu become nt otiou “the arsentil, tl.e navy yard and tho trow* surgent Confmk*rates. Gre taken to make it appear that, at an eaiiy pern.d of tlio struggle there was ostab- lished iu Great Bril am a branch of tho War Department, or tho insurgents, a branch of their Navy Depart incut, and a branch of their Treusm . , each with al most plenary powers." Thus, while Gap- tain Bullock, acting for the Nuvy Depart ment, wmk Miperinti hdmg the coustruc tion of crui-urs, Mr. lluse, on behulf of the War Department, was purchasing arms and mt.i.i i. ns, a:ul the r»qui jite funds were pr ivi led by Fra>or, Treulmlm mncial agents of the Uieh- nenf, t ut the pioceuds uf cotton imported iti blockade runners. Fr< m thi * i odnt of view the ott'onie of Groat Britain iu respect of tho Alabama, for instance, is not to lie measured solely by the g:o s and cnipnbie hcgligoceu which [jrtmilttil her tu escape.

It is, doubtless, natural timt the indigimtmu a. cited in America by the «1**{ re l itmus of the Alabama nnd her cons ills should be gieutly enhanced by the belief that, what- ever inn) he sunl, the building, equipping, armim', m .lining i n { moral * over the mbit rat u: a tha conKequences of r. decision in favor ••f Great* Butain. If, it is urged, tho trilmnal shall hold the optuations of G«])luin bullock and his ns- hc-ciales to have been rightful tho founda tion will be laid “fur tmiies.i dissentient nnd Avars.’* "Wo reply that no one difl- putos tho wro&gfulneas of those opera tions, the issue ut stake being whether Great Britain is responsible in damages for not having instituted a kind of inter nal blockade and succeeded in transfer ring them. It. is urged, again, that*if tho award is nvorne to the United Htoiei, “tilore will bo little inducements in future for nations to adopt the peaceful method of mbitmrion for tho settlfemcufc of their differences." We might Well re tort that, if tho claims of the United States be sanctioned, there will be little inducement for a great luarilino power to remain neutral in tho wars between it-4 neighbors; but wo prefer to reply that arbitrators huve to do with plain consid erations of justice, aud not with dubious uud remote consider,it ions of expediency. It is urged, furl Lev, that if it was right to givo tlm Nashville and Sumter tuoro than a minimum of coni, or lo permit tho j Halo of the Georgia in a British port, t “tho United States, a:-, a nation, whoso i normal condition is o:.o of neutrality, | accept the doctrine." We reply that, a ;- Kumiug tho facts to bo correctly stated, aud waiving thu unseemly t urn in which tho imercuee is i.n • i 1, it is no busi ness of tho arbitral urn to impure whether Hie action of the British authorities was “right," but simply whether it amounted lo injurious imgluj«*nee or viulution of neutrality under tlm rules of the treaty. It is uiged, once more, th-.t if interna tional duties live to be limitcii by mnni"i- pal law, if commissions issued by “a *<•- railed government of iusmTeciionists" aro conclusively valid to cover previous trausgro.isions, if tho Alabama aud he? consorts “may bo allowed" to do ns they did, and “if it bo uo offence’’ to recruit men for them, and so forth, tho 1'nited States will gain an advantage “affecting their pecuniary interests." of which they will lake care to until thoiufelvei. Wo reply, finally, that not one ot tho po**i- loiul i per the the hmd grant s.iHs iu tho foregoing table, it wilt omouiit to £ lt)(i,noo.t)tn) : h at only per acre, it amounts to .-sj'.id,- 000,000; it at tja. 07 per acre, tho hi west of all the grants, it will amount to *17*,- 000,000. This luttcr sum is more than twice tho estimated cost of tlm road, as set forth by the most competent, engi neers. 'these prospective results seem uslound'Dg, )et it strikes us as not uu- itiiScimblo to believe that the financial insults ot this grant shall even exceed tho highest of these estimates, imismucii aa its resources are so immense, and will be developed with ho great facility by the railroad, which will lie the shorter nnd mine eusily operated of our Dacifiu mil- /ads, Ail liitqtirimr Kcpiip, Here i-i another refreshing passage from the leported proceedings of the Ib/iir-.e of Representatives, on Wednesday last.

J Mr. hoar, of MnssaeliusettK, called Mr. (turretL to order, and demanded that his words he taken down, but did not press his demand, nnd the matlr r was dropped. That was all of it.

We presented a case w hich wo agreed not to preseut, und England ob- j* ctH. 'J'liis is also the View ot some of tho Democrats, but few of tho latter aro ao pronounced in their opinion.

Full equality beforo the law in the privilege of all, 'without dis tinction of race or color,’ but the Almigh ty has established certain natural barriers between the wbito man and tho black, that no human statutes or ordinances can ever overthrow.

TLe figures, taken from the officials statistics recently published in England, show this to be tlio ease. Ono pecu liarity, however, is noticablo. While tbo number of emigrants from tho Continent liss augmented them has been a falling off' of Irish and Scotch emigrants. This nn.v bo accounted for by tLo fact of the.ju- cleased facilities offered to emigrants from ports in the North aud Suuth of Ire land, as well as from Glasgow. The num ber of vessels from these places has mul tiplied, and those seeking a passage abroad avail themselves of tho opportuni ties presented to them nearer home.— During the year 1871 the total .number of emigrants leaving thu Moisey for Um United Slab h, was Iff 1,88.1, of whom (5h,- 11)J) were English, 2(5,1 H Irish, 2,48;» Scotch, nnd ff7,47i» from tin* Continent uf Europe.
